JET JWBS-18QT-3, 18-Inch Band Saw
When you need an industrial-tough band saw with large
capacities and the power to handle whatever cutting job
you throw at it, the JET JWBS-18QT-3, 18-Inch Band
Saw stands head and shoulders above the competition.
Our new super-tough triangular frame and the strong-
running JET 3HP TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled)
motor will keep handling your jobs for many years to
come.
Rigid Frame, Cabinets & Doors
Our new triangular design frame is made from heavy gauge steel
and designed to provide superior column rigidity. The triangular
column design reduces rotational twist by 65% versus the
traditional square column design. The exceptional strength of the
JET JWBS-18QT-3, 18-Inch Band Saw frame allowed us to
incorporate an impressive standard 12-1/4" resaw capacity to
handle the large pieces of wood, slicing veneers and cutting book
matched panels right out of the box. No spacers or riser blocks to
buy and install.
The 18" by 29" steel base gives the JET JWBS-18QT-3, 18-Inch
The triangular column
Band Saw a solid footing. Pre-punched holes in the corners of the
design reduces rotational
base make it easy to secure this machine to a suitable floor surface

when that is desired.
design.
Also new on the JET JWBS-18QT-3, 18-Inch Band Saw are the curved-face cabinet
doors that increases their rigidity and appearance. These large, all
steel doors overlap the cabinet openings and have a special sealing
strip that helps to contain the dust. Both the upper and lower
cabinets have rotating locking knobs that keep the doors closed
tightly during operation but allows them to open wide to provide
plenty of access for changing blades.
We added a see-through window in the front edge of the upper
cabinet that provides a clear view of the blade for making tacking
adjustments with the door closed. We even use light colored tires
on the wheels that dramatically increase the visibility of the blade.
The 4"-diameter dust
port and sweeping
brush help keep the
dust in your bag and
not the cabinets!
